So after (too) much research and angst, I have ordered a "stash" of cloth nappies. I'm still second guessing myself, and I ended up spending so much money I think because I ordered lots of separate things. Now I'm worried about that fact that baby will probably grow out of most of these within 4 months, and then I'll need to buy even more! I wanted to be super prepared, and not have to worry about getting anything else for a long time which is why I ordered the different sizes.

I know I can sell nappies, but I had hoped to hang on to them for a second child.

I am wondering if I made the right choice with regards to sizing...

Anyway, any thoughts, feedback, reassurances, advice would be welcome!

I got:

15x newborn fitteds (GMD workhorse from the States, fits birth to 11 or 12 pounds)3x thirsties duo 1 covers6x newborn thirsties AIOs2x Sustainablebabyish Happy Little Clouds (I'm thinking for overnights, and that they will fit at least as long as the small fitteds do)

So, really only 8 "one size" options! I think really I should have skipped the small and gone from newborn to mediums... but I bought the smalls first thinking I could skip the newborns...then changed my mind... argh.

Just a quick post to say that my newborn needed soooooo many nappy changes (frequent poos!), so you may be pleased to have a good stash for the early days.

You can always buy more of the bigger sizes when you have a better idea of your baby's shape / absorbency needs. It's pretty much impossible to predict what will work best anyway, so growing your BTP stash over time makes a lot of sense.

Looks like a fab stash! I think most clothies, buy and then sell on when they are outgrown or don't suit baby. It is a bit of an investment but way better than shelling out for sposies and bin bags each week.

Looks like a great newborn stash IMO its better to wait with the bigger diapers for egen you know your babys shape and needs. When my 4 year old was newborn she was primarily in fitteds and then it changed to OS pockets when she was around 6-7 month. We loved fitteds with covers
